Exiled Test batsman Darren Bravo also failed to get among the runs, falling for four to McCoy but Simmons put on a further 32 for the fourth wicket with South African David Miller (10) to add respectabi­lity to the total.

(Reuters) - England paceman Stuart Broad is aiming to recover from an ankle injury in time to play domestic firstclass cricket for his county Nottingham­shire later this month, days before the first test against India.

The 32-year-old, who last played for England in the second test against Pakistan in June, sustained the injury against Worcesters­hire last week.

Broad is eager to return for Nottingham­shire when they take on Surrey in the County Championsh­ip, starting on July 22.

“I’ve had some injections in my left ankle for an ongoing ligament problem after seeing brilliant specialist­s and having different scans,” Broad said on his official Instagram account.

“It needs five days’ rest, then aiming to run Tuesday and build up quickly with an aim to play for Notts CC against Surrey CCC July 22nd. That’s the plan!!”

Following a three-match Twenty20 and one-day internatio­nal series this month, England and India will face off in five tests series starting on Aug. 1.
